Homebuilder scaling operations with data warehouse and automation
David Weekley Homes operates a 1,000+ person homebuilding business running on JD Edwards for supply chain and Azure/Snowflake for data infrastructure. The company is adopting dbt and Apache Airflow alongside its existing SQL Server and Power BI stack—a pattern consistent with moving from manual reporting toward automated data pipelines. Active hiring across construction (40), sales (30), and ops (23) reflects operational scaling, while the pain-point list (cost variance, bid process delays, contract negotiation friction) points to supply-chain and procurement efficiency as core internal friction points.
